I suspected it was created programmatically. Likely it be easiest to do the animation the same way, moving the origin point up by a small amount for each frame.
I actually tested a “sliding” piece, but it didn’t look very good in my view, as it got cut off at the top and bottom in an unattractive fashion.
Not really that difficult to draw those shapes if you’re well versed in Illustrator.

I have hard time envisioning how they would move. 3, 4 and 6 almost look like different stages of the same helixoid.
On close inspection you can see that they have been drawn with one line that has a beginning and an end.
Which gives me an idea for one option of how to animate it: Draw one complete helix shape as a mask and then use generate>stroke to draw it, animating the beginning and end values. To make it seamless, you will have to use two strokes, as you can only go from 0 to 100% on the completeness of the stroke.
AE project to demonstrate the idea at below link.
I drew just one loop, but you get the idea.

Hi Max,
Ok, got it now.
Seems pretty difficult a task. Do you know how the helixes have been generated?
-
I would suggest tracking the object newly with AE 3D camera tracker.

Roto bezier tool may make the task easier. It attempts to track the motion of the object.

The link you included requires a program to be installed to download.

Cinema 4D or Element 3D. The latter isn’t a modeling program per se (although it happens to include a light bulb model in the install) but can create quite a variety of objects with the built-in primitives. But if you need to build more complex 3D objects yourself, Cinema 4D is the way to go.

Use Ray-Traced 3D, then you can curve the footage.

Definitely mostly frame-by frame in these examples.
The talking lips likely use some sort of voice recognition to automate which frame to show.
For the “wiggling stills” you can draw three frames and show them in rotation.

A reference image or video of what you’re trying to achieve would clarify greatly.
